I maintain that Be-Bop Deluxe was one of those bands who were ahead of their zeitgeist, though they were far more successful that others I could point to in a similar way. They perhaps got tarred with a glam/prog brush that was less than kind. What I found them to be was something else: art rock, which is a distinct thread from prog in my view. Like others I could point to [Ultravox!] Be-Bop Deluxe was a harbinger of Post-Punk. Players who had the requisite art school background to inform their directions who were accomplished but were not constrained by technique for its own sake. I recently got the BBC '74-'78 box set and it's tremendous. Memo to self: I need to watch the DVD in that one!Post-Punk Monkhttps://postpunkmonk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-23159620461298391232017-10-11T08:24:31.464+01:002017-10-11T08:24:31.464+01:00'Drastic Plastic' and the subsequent Bill ...'Drastic Plastic' and the subsequent Bill Nelson's Red Noise LP 'Sound on Sound' are big favourites of mine too Walter.
